turn coordinator
- Definição1
- An instrument similar to a turn and slip indicator but that shows the roll rate as well as the turn rate and the slip. The ball is in the center when a coordinated turn is being executed with the roll rate and/or the rate of turn shown by the instrument.

- Nota adicional1
- The turn coordinator is similar to the turn(-) and(-) slip indicator. It is found in more modern aircraft. The main difference is in the presentation of the turn. A miniature airplane is used to show the bank instead of a needle.

- Contexto
- To correct a skid, the pilot should increase the bank, or increase rudder pressure on the same side as the ball has moved to in the turn coordinator.
- As airspeed decreases during the chandelle, left-tuming tendencies, such as P-factor, have greater effect. As airspeed decreases, right rudder pressure is progressively increased to ensure that the airplane remains in coordinated flight. The pilot maintains coordinated flight by sensing physical slipping or skidding, by glancing at the ball in the tum-and-slip or turn coordinator, and by using appropriate control pressures.
